What if light just appears to travel faster over cosmic distances?
New paper: “The Long String Illusion” proposes that photon wave flattening creates an effective increase in propagation speed. This single geometric mechanism explains the Hubble tension, JWST’s early mature galaxies, flat rotation curves, and lensing offsets — without dark energy or exotic early-universe physics.
